Dow ROCIMA 303 Fungicide – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary mode of action of Dow ROCIMA 303 Fungicide?

A: Dow ROCIMA 303 is a broad-spectrum fungicide based on an isothiazolinone chemistry, acting primarily through inhibition of key enzymatic processes essential for fungal cell metabolism and energy production.


Q2: In which types of industrial formulations is Dow ROCIMA 303 typically used?

A: It is widely applied in water-based industrial products such as metalworking fluids, latex paints, adhesives, construction slurries, and cleaning concentrates—especially where long-term microbial stability and resistance to spoilage organisms are critical.


Q3: How should Dow ROCIMA 303 be incorporated into a formulation?

A: It is generally added during the final stage of manufacturing, after pH adjustment and cooling, to ensure optimal stability and compatibility. Dosage depends on formulation requirements but typically ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight, with efficacy influenced by pH, temperature, and microbial load.


Q4: Is Dow ROCIMA 303 compatible with common biocides or preservatives used in industrial systems?

A: Yes, it often shows synergistic or additive effects when combined with other preservation agents such as formaldehyde donors or benzisothiazolinones—however, compatibility testing under actual formulation conditions is strongly recommended prior to full-scale implementation.
